ABSTRACT Bova and Pereira (2012) investigate two important and interesting research questions: (1) why do firms comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in a developing country where enforcement is weak, and (2) do firms benefit from IFRS compliance in a developing country where enforcement is weak? Using data from Kenya, Bova and Pereira (2012) find that public firms appear to have a higher level of IFRS compliance than private firms. They also find a positive and significant association between foreign ownership and the level of IFRS compliance, consistent with the reporting incentive hypothesis, and between share return and the level of IFRS compliance, consistent with the economic benefit hypothesis. This study contributes to the literature by providing preliminary evidence on the extent to which reporting incentives play an important role in IFRS compliance, and the economic benefit of IFRS compliance in a developing country where enforcement is weak. The implication of the findings of this study should be interpreted with caution because the empirical evidence provided is based on some restricted data from a single developing country. Future research should provide more comprehensive evidence on the economic effects of adopting IFRS in developing and less developed countries.

The purpose of this article is to provide the basic model of Hofstede and Grays’ cultural values that relates the Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and Gray‘s accounting value. This article reviews some studies that prove the model and develop the research in the future. There are some evidences that link the Hofstede’s cultural values studies with the auditor’s judgment and decisions by developing a framework that categorizes the auditor’s judgments and decisions are most likely influenced by cross-cultural differences. The categories include risk assessment, risk decisions and ethical judgments. Understanding the impact of cultural factors on the practice of accounting and financial disclosure is important to achieve the harmonization of international accounting. Deep understanding about how the local values may affect the accounting practices and their impacts on the financial disclosure are important to ensure the international comparability of financial reporting. Gray’s framework (1988) expects how the culture may affect accounting practices at the national level. One area of the future studies will examine the impact of cultural dimensions to the values of accounting, auditing and decision making. Key word : Motivation, leadership style, job satisfaction, performance
